Feature Scan produces a .000 files containing “blue notes” which helps the user identify the locations flagged features. Each test that results in a flag will have a corresponding feature in the output file. The NINFOM field is used to describe the warning or error associated with the feature. The INFORM field contains the corresponding test number from the PDF Report (Fig. 2.44). These can be loaded into your GIS software of choice for further analysis.

Feature Scan produces a PDF report that indicates what checks were performed and the results of the checks (Fig. 2.45). At the end of the report, a summary indicates how many warnings and errors were identified grouped by type (Fig. 2.46).
